Abstract:

An integrated circuit connector is extendable for a variety of applications. In connection with various embodiments, an electrical connector has first and second ends connected to respective circuit nodes in an integrated circuit device. The connector is bundled between the circuit nodes (e.g., substantially all of the connector is located between nodes), and is extended from such a bundled state in which the first and second connected ends are separated by a first proximate distance. The connector is applied in an extended state in which the first and second connected ends are separated by a second distance that is greater than the first proximate distance by at least two orders of magnitude.
